It's entirely possible that Johnny Depp's defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard might get pushed back into the timing of when Heard claims she's supposed to be filming Aquaman 2. 

Remember when Johnny Depp wanted to make arrangements for the trial to allow for his filming of FB? Heard successfully argued against it, refusing to let the court make any such allowances for him. That might, in part, have been why Johnny Depp was asked to step down from the franchise. His filming schedule would have been interrupted - partly by that three-day deposition she made him sit for that conflicted with filming.

Well, now the shoe is on the other foot.

Because of court's Covid-related scheduling conflicts, the case may very well be pushed back into what she claims will be HER filming schedule. And, since she already argued against scheduling court around filming for him, the same applies to her. 

If .court couldn't be rescheduled for him, it can't be rescheduled for her.

Sauce for the gander is just as good for the goose.

There's also the small matter of fact that filming for Aquaman 2 will take place in Australia, where Heard is being investigated for perjury in relation to smuggling her dogs into Australia. 

Given both of these circumstances, and the fact that reliable sources report that her contract has been bought out, chances are very slim (see what I did there?) that Heard will appear in Aquaman 2.

What do you think? Will Heard be AM2? Or is she all washed up?
